McAfee is a company name and refers to all of their products. WHICH product of McAfee's did the user install? If it was the suite that include their Privacy component, you can uninstall just that component and leave the VirusScan and Firewall components installed. The Privacy component has the ad-blocker and popup blocker options. I had problem in getting the popup blocker blocker to remain disabled (McAfee enables it by default on installation and sometimes resets it to that default). Since their popup blocker is simplistic (in what it blocks and how it blocks along with no configurability), and since it caused a single beep when exiting IE that could not be disabled under Sound applet in Control Panel, within the program, or by a registry setting (McAfee's looking into this one), I uninstalled just that component since it wasn't critical or as important as the AV and firewall components.
